Skills We Look For

You will need to complete a short assessment to demonstrate your transcription accuracy skills

Project Management

Being a self-organizer is just as important for success as having great skills. Nowhere is that more important than remote work, where you don’t have a boss standing over your shoulder. This means you must be reliable, complete all the work assigned to you in the time given and provide every one of our clients an exceptional service experience.

Attention To Detail

Looking for the few that perfect the art of correcting production errors. Our Proofers must be curious, creative and detail oriented. They need excellent listening and speaking skills and should be comfortable using computers to do their job. We look for applicants with good writing skills who can be thorough and pay attention to detail.

Legal Space Experience

The vast majority of our clients operate in the legal industry, requiring high quality transcripts across multiple venues. If you have any experience with legal jargon it will be a huge benefit, however if you’re a great transcriber who is willing to learn then we will certainly love to hear from you.
